cretinbob:ms_lara_croft: Osomatic: Since when did Elmo come out as gay? He's supposed to be a little kid.

The male puppeteer who performs as Elmo was recently accused of having a "relationship" with a 16 year old boy.

Yeah, and I'm calling bullshiat on the story beyond what he's admitted to. Sounds like the guy, who is mid-20's now, is just pissed off and trying to make a story out of nothing, or being a copycat of the BBC shiat.Being Elmo is on Netflix if you haven't seen it.

amen to that. one must separate puppeteer from Elmo, the Muppet - Elmo who we have grown to know and love. the puppeteer and the Elmo are two separate entities, similar to, oh, Mitt Romney and President Obama. not one and the same, two, two, two different beings.

instead of trying to put a label on Elmo maybe you should try to get to know him. he's more of a gentleman than most men you'll ever meet. polite, refined, with an appreciation of the arts and education. he supports the underdog and quietly donates both time and money to several charities.

that's the Elmo i know. and if that makes him teh ghey well then slap my butt and call me Myrtle!
